Early morning fog in White County was blamed for two traffic crashes Monday (today), with the first occurring around 5:45 a.m. at the junction of U.S. 45 and Illinois 14 south of Enfield.

The second occurred about 25 minutes later in Emma Township on County Road 1450 East near 800 North when Ernest A. Emery, 79, Mt. Vernon, Ind., told a White County sheriff's deputy he couldn't tell where the roadway was at as he drove a 2001 Chevrolet pickup northbound and sideswiped a southbound 2006 Chevrolet Impala driven by Amy M. Belford, 38, Carmi.
